how to dress herself best, teach her Very few girls have any inborn fashion scasc. They have to learn what makes them look smart, or dowdy, by experimenting with clothes during their tegns..
Many Mistakes
And if you look back on your'own' teens you'll remember what an ex- pensive lesson that was,
How often you made mistakes; buy- Ing a rock just because you liked the pattern of the material, or a coat because you had 'n vague idea it would match the frock... and then on arriving home found
that you looked frightful in both of them, and, anyway, that they didn't match after, all.
And that is probably just what your daughter has been doing lately. If she copies one of your frocks, on the other hand, she can be sure that she is getting one that has a smart line. and is in really good taste.
of
She will watch the way you wear your "win" frock, the type accessories you match to it, and almost unconsciously she will absorb. her fashion lesson. Even if she is so young that she has not yet started to buy her own clothes, the lesson will be a valuable one for her..
Pinafore Style

It's not too sophis- ticated 17 style for daughter, not too youthful a style for mother.

with a full, strnight-cut skirt, gathered into n tight waist belted with stitched tar- tan ribbon in red, white, blue and. yellow.
The
slcaves and round gathered collar are white organza, attached to a thin white silk slip which is separate from the dress so that it can be easily detached and laundered.. The or- ganza-trimmed hem of the slip shows below the frock.
Yellow straw "sailor" hats go with the frock, trimmed with plaid taffeta ribbons.

HOUSEWIVES, did you know
that the best tea makes the bluest blaze when you throw a little on to the fire?
that the best quality olive oil is a light green or a light golden yellow?
that when in doubt about musk- rooms, you should put a clean silver coin in the pan in which they are cooked? If they are really toadstool the coin-will-
become discoloured... that pure coffee held in the palm of your hand and press- ed firmly should fall apart when the hand is opened?
that if you press the bottom of a tin of preserved meat or other food and it makes the same "plonky" sound as an oil-can when pressed, the contents are suspect, as the tin cannot be airtight?
